Srila Jiva Goswami

Sri Sanatana, Sri Rupa and Sri Vallabha were three brothers, all employed in the service of the Badsa Hussain Shah. Amongst the three, there was only one descendent, Sri Jiva. Having been rewarded richly by the Badsa for their sevices, their household life was very opulent. There was nothing lacking in whatever was necessary for the upbringing of the only son.

Why is it that (in the Hare Krishna movement) you do not eat onions and
garlic?

After all they are vegetables, are they not? One can understand the
prohibition against meat-eating. But what is wrong with eating garlic and
onions? Surely there's no more violence committed when we eat an onion than
when we eat a potato.

When we chant Hare Krsna mantra, we should chant with some love, with some feeling, and with the desire to please Krsna. Not that I have a quota to perform, so I will run through my 16 rounds. This is like a formality or a ritual.Freedom by surrender

So by the result, one has to see.

Just like there is examination. One student says, "Oh, I have studied
so much." But when the examination was taken, he failed. So what does

unhappy and why he languished in such poverty even though his wealthy
